3.1.2 A layered grammar of graphics-2

Aesthetic mapping

Aesthetics are visual properties that are used to display your variables. Aesthetics can include position on an x or y axis, line type, colours, shapes etc. The process of assigning variables from a dataset to an aesthetic is known as mapping. + position: x, y + size + colour/fill + shape + width + line type + alpha/transparency

Geoms

Refers to geometric objects as ‘geoms’ for short. ex. Points and Lines are the geoms used to represent date and ozone levels, which were mapped to x and y aesthetics

Stats

Stats is short for ‘statistical transformations’.Examples of other common statistical transformations include quartiles used in boxplots, density estimates for probability distributions, a line of best fit from a linear regression, statistical summaries (means, medians, error bars etc.), and counts (frequencies, proportions and percentages).

Scales

Scales are used to control the mapping between a variable and an aesthetic.

Position adjustment

Position adjustments aim to avoid overlapping elements by either dodging, filling, jittering, nudging or stacking. Layers can incorporate multiple position adjustments as follows.

  • Dodge: Elements are arranged side-by-side.
  • Fill: Elements are stacked, but height is normalised (e.g. per cent or proportion).
  • Jitter: Random noise added to x and y position to minimise overplotting.
  • Nudge: Labels are positioned a small distance away from data points to avoid overlapping.
  • Stack: Elements are stacked on top of each other.

Coord

The coordinate system is used to define the plane to which the data or stats are mapped.

Facet

Faceting is the process of breaking a visualisation into subsets and displaying the subsets as small multiples.

Data preperation

  coord_cartesian() +
  scale_x_date(name = "Date") +
  scale_y_continuous(name = "Ozone (Mean ppb 13:00 - 15:00)")

Step 2: Add a points layer

# Create a data column named "date" based on columns "Month" and "Day"

View(airquality)

airquality$date <- as.Date(with(airquality, paste( Month, Day,sep="-")), "%m-%d")
#airquality


step1 <- ggplot() +# Add a points layer to the ggplot object

    data=airquality,
    mapping=aes(x=date, y=Ozone),
    stat="identity",
    geom="point",
    position = position_identity()
  )

Step 3: Select point geom and add lines

 step2 <-  step1+layer(
    data = airquality,
    mapping = aes(x = date, y = Ozone),
    stat ="identity",
    geom ="line",
    position = position_identity()

Step 4: Add a trend line

step3 <-  step2+layer(
    data = airquality,
    mapping = aes(x = date, y = Ozone),
    stat ="smooth",
    params =list(method ="loess", span = 0.4, se = FALSE),

Another strategy would be to convert age to a binary variable such as children (< 10) and adolescents (10–19). This would allow you to use a double facet and squeeze one more variable into the plot. Use this code:

FEV$age_cat <- ifelse(FEV$age < 10, "Children", "Adolescent")
p3.3 <- ggplot(data = FEV,
               aes(x = height, y = FEV, colour = smoking))

# 4.2.2 Mapping additional aesthetics

simple bivariate scatterplot

gapminder2007 <- gapminder %>% filter(year == 2007)
p1 <- ggplot(gapminder2007, aes(x = gdpPercap, y = lifeExp))
p1 + geom_point() +
  labs(x = "GDP Per Capita", y = "Life Expectancy",
       title = "Country GDP per capita predicts life expectancy (2007)")

Multivariate visualisation

p1 + geom_point(aes(size = pop)) +
  labs(x = "GDP Per Capita",
       y = "Life Expectancy",
       title = "Country GDP per capita predicts life expectancy (2007)") +
  scale_size(name = "Pop Size")

Now the population size of a country is portrayed by the size of the point. Size lacks accuracy, but it does a good job in this example of highlighting the large degree of variability in country size.

We will now add a fourth variable by mapping the continent to a colour aesthetic.

p1 + geom_point(aes(size = pop, colour = continent)) +
  labs(x = "GDP Per Capita",
       y = "Life Expectancy",
       title = "Country GDP per capita predicts life expectancy (2007)") +
  scale_size(name = "Pop Size") + scale_color_discrete(name = "Continent")

Multivariate II

studentInfo <- read.csv("studentInfo.csv")
studentInfo$highest_education <- studentInfo$highest_education %>%
  factor(levels = c("No Formal quals","Lower Than A Level",
                    "A Level or Equivalent", "HE Qualification",
                    "Post Graduate Qualification"),

         ordered =TRUE)

studentInfo$gender <- studentInfo$gender %>%
  factor(levels = c("F","M"),
         labels = c("Female","Male"))

Suppose we are interested in understanding how a student’s previous qualifications, highest_education, are related to avg_grade. We can start with a simple side-by-side box plot. Use this code:

p2 <- ggplot(data = studentInfo, aes(x = highest_education, y = avg_grade))
p2 + geom_boxplot() +
  labs(y = "Average Grade", x = "Highest Education") +
  coord_flip()

Fill gender

p2 + geom_boxplot(aes(fill = gender)) +
  labs(y = "Average Grade", x = "Highest Education") +
  coord_flip() +
  theme(legend.title=element_blank())
## Warning: Removed 5866 rows containing non-finite values (stat_boxplot).

Do students who have higher average grades complete more courses and have higher educational backgrounds? Things are starting to get trickier. This trivariate visualisation includes two quantitative variables and one qualitative variable. The size aesthetic can be used to add an additional quantitative variable. In this visualisation we will map courses to the size aesthetic. Use this code:

p3 <- ggplot(data = studentInfo,
             aes(x = highest_education, y = avg_grade,
                 size = courses))
p3 + geom_point(position = "jitter",alpha = .25) +
  scale_size(name = "Courses Finished") +
  labs(y = "Average Grade", x = "Highest Education") +
  theme(axis.text.x=element_text(angle=45,hjust=1))
## Warning: Removed 5866 rows containing missing values (geom_point).

  facet_wrap(~ region)
## Warning: Removed 5866 rows containing non-finite values (stat_boxplot).

if you want to align visualisations in rows or columns to facilitate accurate comparisons, you can use facet_grid. facet_grid(. ~ var) will align facets as columns and facet_grid(var ~ .) as rows. Use this code:

p8 + geom_boxplot() + labs(y = "Average Grade", x = "Highest Education") +
  theme(legend.title=element_blank()) + coord_flip() +
  facet_grid(region ~ .)
## Warning: Removed 5866 rows containing non-finite values (stat_boxplot).

Double facet

Use with caution: as a rule of thumb, you should never use more than two variables in a facet.

p8 + geom_boxplot() + labs(y = "Average Grade", x = "Highest Education") +
  theme(legend.title=element_blank()) + coord_flip() +
  facet_grid(region ~ age_band)
